Re: Cygwin 1.7 problems on Windows XP SP2

Hi, I recently installed the latest version of cygwin after using previous
(1.5) versions without problems. Almost nothing works on 1.7 and even after
reinstalling my machine
I still have the same problem. My machine runs Windows XP SP2.
My install.log.full has a lot of errors like this one:
3879146 [main] bash 3716 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before
initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11
4 [main] bash 3872 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't
allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x740000, reserve_size
454656, allocsize 458752, page_const 4096
This doesn't only happen with bash, it was also happening with other apps
such as rsync before I reinstalled the operating system. Any ideas or hints
for diagnosing this? Can I acquire an older setup.exe and try installing a
previous version of cygwin? Full log is at
http://foo.is/~baldur/setup.log.full.gz

If you look in the email archives for messages with similar complaints, you'll find that this kind of problem is most commonly the result of one of two things:

  1. You need to install the rebase package, read its README, and run
     rebaseall as prescribed.

2. <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>
